A survey on anonymous ip address blocking
Bhupender Kumar · 2012
These days, the Internet is full of suspicious actions and people. We always advise to not take a chance in protecting your IP Address information online. TheIP was being shown everywhere! To advertisersandother places ,even from SPAM who compromised usersidentity. No more I said, and developed software that would hide ip address.we outline a security protocol that uses resource constrained trusted hardware to facilitate anonymous IP-address blocking in anonym zing networks such as Tor. Tor allows users to access Internet services privately by using a series of Tor routers to obfuscate the route from the client to the server, thereby hiding the client’s IP address from the server. The success of Tor, however, has been limited because of malicious users who misuse the network. administrators block all known exit nodes of anonymizing networks, denying nonymous access to misbehaving and behaving users alike. To address this problem, we present Nymble, a system in which servers can ―blacklist‖ misbehaving users, thereby blocking users without compromising their anonymity. Our system is thus agnostic to different servers’ definitions of misbehavior servers can blacklist users for whatever reason, and the privacy of blacklisted users is maintained. The IP-address anonymity provided by Tor, however, makes it difficult for administrators to deny access to such offenders .As a result, administrators resort to blocking all Tor exit nodes, effectively denying anonymous access for all Tor’s users. Our solution makes use of trusted hardware and allows services like Tor to provide anonymous blocking of IP addresses while requiring only a modest amount of storage at the trusted node. Key terms: IP , pockets, NYMBLE,Anonymizing networks, privacy.
